Knight School Joust Training

"Knight School" is regular monthly training session devoted to the schooling of horse, rider and support staff for participation in historical competitive jousting and skill at arms activities, as practiced in the USA, UK, and Europe.

The instructor, Jeffrey Hedgecock of the US, has over 13 years experience in Medieval Horsemanship and Jousting.

He has competed since 2003 in numerous tournaments at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds England, as well as other tournaments in the US, Scotland, New Zealand, Holland, France and Belgium. Jeffrey is an internationally known armourer of 22 years experience and is a founding member of the Order of the Crescent, which has jousted at the Royal Armouries "Sword of Honour" team joust since 2005 and is the only team to win the competition three consecutive years, in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (see also the Historic Enterprises Journal, Issue #2). The Order of the Crescent triumphed at WorldJoust Tournaments' "Tournament of the Phoenix 2009" in a combined competition of jousting, foot combat and club tourney.

In 2008, Jeffrey placed 2nd in the Royal Armouries individual tournament and won the Belgian "Hackaland" tournament, and the French National Tournament at Verneuil sur Avre in 2009.
